Figure 906.  Sharecropper's record book

This page, from sharecroppers Ned and Mattie Gregg's 1952 record book, shows which of their neighbors helped them during this week of cotton picking. The record of how much each person picked and how much they were paid is evidence that they were making three cents a pound.  Photo 2003.
